Article Synopsis
- - Women with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) have a significantly lower health-related quality of life (HRQoL) compared to those with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and healthy individuals, a trend that remains even after considering various demographic and emotional factors.
- - The study found that depression and fatigue were the strongest negative predictors of HRQoL among FMS and RA patients, indicating a significant emotional impact on their health-related quality of life.
- - Interestingly, once the type of diagnosis (FMS vs. RA) was taken into account, many of the associations between clinical symptoms and HRQoL diminished, suggesting that HRQoL impairment may be a fundamental aspect of FMS itself.

Purpose: This study analysed the longitudinal associations of physical fitness and affect with depression, anxiety and life satisfaction at 2- and 5-year follow-up.
Methods: In 312 adult women with fibromyalgia, physical fitness was measured by performance-based tests and affect, depression, anxiety and life satisfaction were self-reported using the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), Beck Depression Inventory-second edition (BDI-II), State Trait Anxiety Inventory-I (STAI) and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), respectively. We conducted sequential linear regression analyses adjusted for baseline levels of depression, anxiety, life satisfaction, age, body fat percentage and education.
Migraine headache is a pain condition characterized by severe and recurrent unilateral head pain. Among other mechanisms, central pain sensitization processes seem to be involved in the disorder. An experimental protocol based on slowly repeated evoked pain (SREP) has been shown to indicate pain sensitization in fibromyalgia patients and differentiate these patients from healthy individuals and rheumatoid arthritis patients.

This decrease in HRQoL is related to clinical pain, anxiety, and depression. This cross-sectional study analyzes the mediating role of pain-coping strategies (especially catastrophizing) in the negative relationships of pain, anxiety, depression, and HRQoL in FMS.
